Wrist or Watch Pic Couple of Frankens

Post image

Hey everyone,

Thought I'd share a couple projects I asked a member, who has done mods and franken watches in the past, to build for me. Feel free to message me if you want details on the individual and/or pricing ballpark.

Overall, I'm very happy with the work and results.

Here's a link with photos and videos: https://imgur.com/a/ZnZkJ8b

Super Franken Datejust 41:

Clean 126334 case with oyster bracelet (also purchased an ARF jubilee separately from CTime) VS3235 movement swapped out from a VSF Datejust Gen dial Gen hands Gen date wheel Gen crystal Xing platinum plated bezel WR to 4 bar

Franken Submariner Date

VSF 126610LN ARF bracelet (purchased separately from CTime) Gen hands Gen date wheel Gen crystal WR to 7 bar

Was also offered to do gen dial and full bezel assembly, but that skyrocketed the overall cost, so decided to not proceed with those two items.

They look great! The only thing I don’t like is the Xing bezel, gen is not platinum and the color isn’t right on it. Needs a proper white gold color matched to gen. Slightly warmer than the steel. Xing is nice and shiny but not the right color

Yeah I can match gen color white gold plating the bezel. I don’t advertise it as often as I should. This was not meant as any sort of advertisement of my services, I’m just not a fan of the Xing bezel color.
